In a SystemVerilog UVM [2] testbench, most activity is generated from writing sequences. This article will outline how to build and write basic sequences, and then extend into more advanced usage. The reader will learn about sequences that generate sequence items; sequences that cause other sequences to occur and sequences that manage sequences on other sequencers. Sequences to generate out of order transactions will be investigated. Self-checking sequences will be written.
INTRODUCTION
A UVM sequence is a collection of SystemVerilog code which runs to cause “things to happen”. There are many things that can happen. A sequence most normally creates a transaction, randomizes it and sends it to a sequencer, and then on to a driver. In the
